Boasting sophisticated telephony functions, the Parrot RK8200 stands out with powerful performance, a smart interface and the broadest set of features available on the market.

Consumers are increasingly enjoying music from many different sources from mobiles to MP3 players. Parrot wants to connect the car to that multitude of options and has equipped the Parrot RK8200 with every popular connection: an SD card reader, a USB port for flash drives and MP3 players, an line-in socket for analogue sources, a specific iPodฎ connector and Bluetooth wireless technology (via the A2DP Bluetooth stereo profile).

The Parrot RK8200 sports an internal memory that can also store over 300 MP3 tracks. Cleverly hidden behind the removable front panel, there is a storage compartment to keep a phone, MP3 player or USB flash drive. “The Parrot RK8200 car stereo with USB elevates the car stereo concept to an integrated multifunctional audio hub for the car.” says Henri Seydoux, CEO and founder of Parrot. “Its 180W amplifier and unique range of audio effects will delight the music and radio lover, while the advanced Bluetooth handsfree options will please the driver that wants to keep it safe and simple, but functional.”

As a car kit, the Parrot RK8200’s capabilities are unsurpassed, bringing the most advanced handsfree functions together in a simple and easily accessible interface: automatic phonebook synchronisation, complete call records, an amazing total storage capacity of 8,000 contacts, and handsfree call functionality through voice recognition and special Parrot voice synthesis that reads out the names of
your contacts to you.

To guarantee crystal-clear conversations, the Parrot RK8200 dual microphone makes use of echo cancellation and Parrot’s brand-new Dynamic Choice of Best Microphone (DCBM) noise reduction technology: the Parrot RK8200 detects the position of the person speaking and dynamically chooses the best placed microphone.
